The autumn editions of The BIG New Products Trade Show and The BIG Wearables Trade Show took place at the Radisson Hotel near Heathrow and at Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester, with hundreds of products on display and dozens of distributors through the doors.

 

The shows will return in 2024, along with sister event The Green and New Promo Show, calling at London, Manchester, Leeds, Dublin and Glasgow among others.

 

Showcasing many of the industry’s leading companies, the autumn edition of the BIG Show exhibitions featured more than 70 of the top suppliers of promotional merchandise, wearables and services from the UK, Ireland and Europe at conveniently located quality venues.

 

Gerry Thomas presented the best wearables stand award to Ashford Blake and Donna Powell from Beechfield Brands and the most innovative wearables product autumn award to Ian Hewlett and Ian Wilson from United Brands of Scandinavia for their Cottover sustainable collection.

 

The best promo stand award went to Max Rutland from CHX Products and the most innovative promo product autumn award to Sam Brooks-Birkett and Mark Zurek from Castelli (Diaries) Ltd for their new Oritsei notebook from the Appeel Eco notebook collection.
